Edwin Eugene was born on September 24, 1937, in Le Mars, the son of Bert and Martha (Juhl) Nielsen. He was raised on a farm at Rock Valley and then in the Cleghorn area.
He began farming at an early age and built many things while farming, including automatic chicken nest openers, a garage door opener from scratch, and a television, assembling the various components.
After leaving the farm, he graduated from the Mankato Commercial College in Minnesota with top honors. After that, he worked at Jostens in Mankato, Sioux Transportation in Sioux City, and Williams and Company in Onawa, as a certified public accountant.
“Eddie” had many interests. He was clever with gadgets and computers, but was most beloved for his presence and great sense of humor, especially by his extended family.
Survivors include one sister, Helen Nielsen Eckstein, of Chanhassen, Minnesota; two brothers and their wives, Arnold and Pearl Nielsen, of Hull; and Phillip and Wilma Nielsen, of South Sioux City, Nebraska; thirteen nephews and nieces, Barry, Beth, Ted, Sharon, Stan, Jan, Rev.
